great series

A suspenseful series, full of interesting characters and plot twists, “The Governor” is perhaps more relevant now than in the mid 90s when it was originally broadcast. Lynda LaPlante, who wrote every episode, is at her best here, as are the superb actors who portray inmates and staff at Barfield Prison.
